Secure Networking and Wii without Computer

I am wanting to set up a wireless network to connect my Wii and my regular modem to the network and I am wanting to have a secure password access but I don't want to have to have my computer on all the time? Basically I just want to have my modem and the router on with the wii or whatever console and connect that way with a password without the computer.

Ok, then your basic network configuration should look something like the following with your 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn):
Modem > (Ethernet cable) > \[WAN port] AEBSn >>> (wireless) >>> wireless clients, where the wireless clients would be your computer and the Wii. In this configuration, you do not have to have your computer on in order for the Wii to access the Internet through the AEBSn.

TS1398 I only want my secured network wifi but keeps searching for others. Tried turning on an off wifi and on and off secured networks and ignore other networks, but keep coming back. Any suggestions.

That's not the way wifi works.
You may see the other networks but you are not connected to them in any way.

Airport Express as an end point on a wireless network and connect a computer via the ethernet port?

Can I use my Airport Express as an end point on a wireless network and connect a computer via the ethernet port? - I'm wanting to connect a computer that does not have wireless and is in another building.

The requirements for this to work are:
1) The AirPort Express must be the 802.11"n" version. Model Number is A1264
2) There must be adequate wireless signal stength where the Express will be located
3) The Express must be configured to "join" the wireless network with the option checked to activate the Ethernet port

Need to restore my iPhone and worried about songs that I downloaded via network and not the computer

I haven't been able to sync my phone since the last software update in December. It perpetually says that I don't have enough space on my phone even though I have 10gb of free space. My last resort is to do a restore but I have made some iTunes purchases over my network and not through my computer that have not been synced do to this problem and the restore process has alerted me that if I continue that I'll have to re-purchase them. Is this true? Or will I be able to re-download them from the iTunes store after the restore process. I've had to do that with other songs that have mysteriously disappeared but I don't want to proceed until I'm sure I can.
TY in advance

Disable automatic syncing by opening iTunes, then going to Preferences>Devices and checking "Prevent from syncing automatically". Then connect your phone and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer your purchased music to iTunes. Confirm that your purchased music is now in your iTunes library. If so, restore your phone.
Also, if you purchased them with the Apple ID you have set in Settings>iTunes & App Stores, and if the songs are still in the iTunes store, in many countries you will be able to redownload them for free.

I have a canon scanner MP560 wireless. Needed to create new wireless network and now my computer can't find the scanner/fax..

My iMac doesnt' see my Canon MP560 wi fi scanner ever since I created a wireless network in my house. Can't find a way to change whatever settings i need to to connect the scanner. help.

Well let's see if we can help you get set up. Have you got any 2.4 GHz cordless phones in the house and if so try unplugging them and do a hard reset of the express.
1. unplug the express
2. press the reset button
3. while pressing the reset button plug in the base station
4. keep holding the rest button till you see 4 green lights flash
you may have to hold it for 30 seconds or so
if this doesn't work try plugging the express in right beside the computer and then going through the airport setup assistant
Good luck
Let me know

How to extend secure network and guest network.

Sorry if this has been covered but I couldn't find it.
I have an Airport Extreme running the 7.6.3 firmware. Once Comcast gets their act together it will be running off a static IP. I want to wirelessly extend my guest WiFi and my secure WiFi. What do I need to get this done? Do I need to get an Express for each network? Or can another Extreme repeat both networks? Eventually I hope we will have Cat5 running to the repeater's location but that could be a long way off.
Thanks!

I cannot get the web page to open when I do a search on the SMC8014, but it appears that this is a modem/router or gateway type of device.....which will not allow the Guest Network feature to be enabled on the AirPort Extreme.
I did find this, which confirms that the SMC is a modem/router or gateway....not what you want.
http://www.speedguide.net/routers/smc-smc8014-biz-business-cable-gateway--534
The solution is to find out from SMC or your Internet Service Provider whether or not the 8014 can be configured to operate in "Bridge Mode".....which would then allow you to configure the AirPort Extreme to operate as the main router on the network. This would allow the Guest Network option on the AirPort Extreme to be enabled correctly.
Or better yet.....ask your ISP for a simple modem.......not a modem/router or gateway type of device.
So assuming this is all compatable (or I get compatable equipment), I can extend both networks with 1 express or 1 extreme?
That is correct.

Set up network and internet, main computer cannot 'see' base station

OK, I am too stupid. My network was fine in the old place, after moving houses I reconnected the old way but it wouldn't work. I connected, i Mac, a powerbook and ipod touch. This is what I did:
connected dsl modem to wan port on AE station
connected lan between iMac and AE station.
Resulted in all devices connecting to my network, no devise, not even the i Mac, connects to the internet, saying PPPoE host could not be found. ipod touch say safari could not find the server, but I think it basically means the same.
Next, I tried to re-configure the AE station but the administration program on the iMac does not list my AE station, though my powerbook does. Reconfigured via powerbook but with the same result.
Is there anyone who can make sense of what I wrote above? Advise would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the advice. Yes, my ISP requires PPPoE and the AE was configured this way originally. I am not sure if I disabled PPPoE on all my other devices. Checked system preferences on the iMac (that is the main computer) but when I open the 'network' pane it says 'your configuration was changed by another program' (sorry this is translated as I am running the OS in German) and won't accept any input, not even quitting the system preferences.
One more new thing, I tried to access the AE by putting the address and password in. iMac seem to find the AE but comes back with the message 'error occurred when reading the configuration'.

Can i connect the printer to a wireless network and a usb computer conneconnection at the same time

Can I connect my Officejet Pro 8600 by Usb and wireless at the same time, I have a very slow Network at this time.

Hello gilldenc
To answer you question yes. You can have one computer attached via USB and to a wireless router at the same time. What router are you using? Is it your internet connection that is slow? Usually your internal home network is much faster than your internet speed.
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" to those that help solve your problems.
When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.

I have a netgear n300 router broadcasting my wpa secured wireless network and bought an airport express to extend the network. I did an Ethernet setup from a MacBook, got the green checkmark but no extension. help.

I have a net gear n300 router transmitting my WPA secured network, and I bought an airport express to use as a network extender. I configured it via an Ethernet cable from a MacBook using manual setup in airport utility. I got the green checkmark at the end, but it is not extending my signal. Can you help me?

Unfortunately, most non-AirPort routers are not compatible with Apple's implementation of Wireless Distribution System (WDS)...so it very unlikely that your Netgear router can be extended wirelessly with the AirPort Express Base Station (AX).
The few non-AirPort routers that are known to work are:
Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GS (not v5)
Belkin F5D7230-4 and F5D7231
BT Voyager 2091
Netgear WGR614 v6
Buffalo WGR-G54

K210 will not connect to secured network

My Lenovo K210 system running Vista will not connect to a secured wireless network. I added a Tenda, and Netgear USB wifi stick as well as a Rosewell PCI card (removing each before proceeding to the next element.). It will see the secured network, and will allow for input of the PSK key, but it will not connect saying "Windows cannot connec tto <SSID>" with "Diagnose the problem" or "connect to another network". Diagnose the problem results the same. I end up connecting to an unsecured router I have set up on an old broadband connection. The PCI adapter will handle WEP, WPA and WPA2.
Is there something that could be changed to allow for connection to a secured network?
Thank you,
WIlliam

It sees the network, there is no error message just showing the circular emblem and not the check next to the network. I do not know about other networks since I am at home and just started this morning. I can connect to my MacBook Pro with Bluetooth.

Don't have access to JOIN key for secured networks

I have a 3GS iPhone and want to use my wireless internet connection at home. When I press my network name, it goes to a screen where I am supposed to type my password, however, the key JOIN is not accessible, so nothing happens. I tried with other secured networks and it's the same, when it goes to the password screen, the JOIN key is not accessible. What should I do?

You have to enter the same number of digits required for that security level. For example if it is a six digit password and you enter four digits then Join will not turn blue and become available to choose.
